( x − h) 2
+ (y − k) = r2
2
or r² = (x - h)² + (y - k)²
If the circle is at the origin
x2+y2=r2 r is the radius
Examples:
1. Write the standard equation of Circle. The center at ( -5,0)
and radius 4.8
h = -5
k=0
r = 4.8
( x − h) 2
+ (y − k) = r2
2
Solution:
( x − (− 5)) 2
+ ( y − (0)) = (4.8)
2 2
( x + 5) 2
+ y 2 = 23.04
( x − h) 2
+ (y − k) = r2

+ ( y − (− 3)) = 20
